Polkadot Live

Polkadot Live is a Polkadot OpenGov funded project that has been in development since November 2023. It is a cross-platform desktop application that provides subscriptions and performs chain interactions on Polkadot and Substrate based blockchain networks.

Polkadot Live was originally conceptualized by Ross Bulat who presented the idea at Polkadot Decoded 2023. The project is currently being actively developed by Dane Bulat, who is working with Ross to realize the project's long-term goals and objectives.
